Today is Saturday, February 24, 2007. Something totally and completely unnecessary happened yesterday that just added to all of the stress, irritation and tension that Ive been experiencing, however I failed to mention it in my journal entry. Let me preface this story by going back a bit. Around 6 weeks ago, I was presented with a check by the one of the parents of the 5 year old girl that I watch. A week and a half after having deposited the check, I was advised by the parent that she had some unforeseen issues arise with her checking account and that the check may come back. Immediately after learning this news I checked my account information online and determined that it had indeed been returned which was not only an inconvenience but also caused me to incur a $25 return check fee on my account. I advised the parent of the situation and within a week restitution was made. Then yesterday, I received a phone call from the other parent of the 5 year old asking that I now hold onto the check/payment for this past week until at least next Wednesday. Apparently, more unforeseen issues arose. I told the parent that I would hold onto the check which I will do BUT I am so very tired of being taken advantage of. I went into this business with the intention of helping people out and while I still want to do so, I honestly do not know how much longer I can stand being walked all over. Anyway, now that that is off my chest; on with today.
My day has been okay so far. I got up this morning and shooed my husband and daughter off (he took her shopping so I could have some quite time) so that I could complete QuickBooks training. I didn't think my mind would be able to grasp it, but I think I did pretty darn well. I've wanted to get the training done so that I could say with confidence that I knew how to use it for future job interviews. After they came home, we had lunch, goofed around for just a bit, I got my shower (which I've found while totally and completely necessary but still a chore in and of itself) and we all laid down in my husbands and my bed and took a nap together. Snuggling together is something else that I've found helpful. I have been feeling a little bit odd physically speaking for the past two weeks. First of all, quite some time ago (at least a year and a half ago) I began noticing that whenever I lifted anything of significant weight I had this odd sharp pain on my low abdomen right around where my scar from my C-Section is. The odd thing about this pain is that once I notice it, it seems to last for 3 to 4 days, it hurts to sit down and it hurts to stand up. Well after having my D&C done the pain or better yet the area in which the pain occurs has extended. It is in the same area BUT now it also reaches of the way up to my belly button in a straight line. I dont know if something occurred during the D&C that made matters worse but God does it suck (pardon the French). I hate feeling like I cant pick anything up, especially my daughter. Over a year ago I brought it to my OB/GYNs office, they did an Ultrasound to check and make sure that my IUD wasnt causing the problem and they also checked for a Hernia at the same time. They determined that my IUD was fine and that if I do indeed have a hernia it must have been a small one because they couldnt see anything. My other odd physical issue is in regards to my left breast. I have had pain in my left breast off and on for the past two weeks. The pain has primarily been on the left side of my breast; however I have noticed it on the top of my breast also. Sometimes it hurts when my arm brushes against my breast and sometimes it doesnt bother me at all. I just dont get it. Guess Ill have lots of questions for my OB/GYN huh? Oh well, I guess thats pretty much it for the day. Ill write more tomorrow...
